Little Big Show #2

April 20, 2012
KEXP, Starbucks & STG are back in the saddle for the return of Little Big Show at The Neptune, featuring Real Estate & Poor Moon. 100% of ticket sales benefitting Coyote Central

Real Estate – The quintessential East Coast indie rock band, Real Estate currently based in Brooklyn and signed to Domino Records. Real Estate has a vibe all unto themselves, as can be seen on their successful sophomore LP, Days. The five piece rock outfit play clean cut shoegaze that feels like warm surf on a cloudy day. Real Estate will carry you away to simpler times and simpler feelings.

Poor Moon – The brainchild of Fleet Foxes associates Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott, who are joined by brothers Peter and Ian Murray, Poor Moon plays indie surf rock with a laid back Seattle twist. Their tracks are laced with reverberated guitar and vocal lines that are heavy on harmony. Their debut EP Illusion, is out now and a full-length is due out later this year.

Little Big Show #1

Our first show on February 16, 2012, featured local artists Pickwick, with special guest Fly Moon Royalty. 100% of ticket sales support local arts. This inaugural show raised over $13,000 for Arts Corps, founded on the belief that all young people, not just those with resources, deserve access to quality arts learning opportunities.

Pickwick – Pickwick have come into their own with a sound that is far more soulful and poppy than the wistful, western folk-iness that has become so prevalent in the local music scene as of late. This soulfulness comes primarily by way of frontman Galen Disston’s unchained vocals, as well as from some soul- and gospel-related instrumentation such as the organ.

Fly Moon Royalty – The combination that makes up electro-soul duo Fly Moon Royalty is vocalist/ fast talker Adra Boo and DJ/Producer/Emcee Action Jackson. Boo, a Seattle native and sophisticated songstress whose inspiration is drawn from everyday life, has been blazing trails in the theater and burlesque community while building her name as a unique host for special events.
